Yair Golan: Ultra-Orthodox exemption bill undermines Israel's national security

Yair Golan, leader of Israel's Labour Party, has condemned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bill to exempt ultra-Orthodox Jews from military service.

Golan said that the move would "seriously undermine [Israel's] national security."

“This bad government has chosen to increase the burden on those serving in the ranks of the compulsory army and the reserves and to continue giving political bribes to coalition partners on the backs of all our sons and daughters,” he added.
